Pleasantly surprised. Not that I thought it would stink of anything. It was just better than I expected I guess.
Interesting premise, kind of reminds me of Nightmare on Elm Street. Kind of.
I suppose if there is something for me to complain about I’d say that the way it is written doesn’t allow for much attatchment to the characters.
I feel like I know Janie, but not well. And that I’d like to get to know her better. And by her I mean not just her ability.
I liked Cabel, although I did just do a small rant on Facebook about his name. I mean Cabel, like cable. Really? I know we may be trying to go with a unique name but it was just weird to me. I do like his character though. Wounded, deeply wounded, really sweet.
There are a few other things that annoyed me, like the constant use of a certain word. I’m not naive, or anything, it just seemed overused. Said in some of the weirdest moments. And then also, the constant misunderstandings between Janie and Cabe. Some seemed like they were thrown in for good measure.
Other than that, great story, great book. Picking up Fade right now.
“When,” he demands. “I promise, all my heart, I’ll be your house elf for the rest of my life if I fail to meet you at the appointed date and time.” He leans forward. “Promise,” he says again. He holds up two fingers.
The bell rings.
They stand up.
She’s not answering.
He comes around the table toward her and pushes her gently against the wall. Sinks his lips into hers.
He tastes like spearmint.
She can’t stop the flipping in her stomach.
He pulls back and touches her cheek, her hair. “When,” he whispers. Urgently.
"That was the goth stage, where I decided I'd never get the girl of my dreams because of my scars. Not to mention my hairstyle. (pause)But then she slammed a door handle into my gut. And when a girl does that to a boy,it means she likes him."
